Sorry for the reference to the ’80’s song:)I used to use the bass line to “My Sharona” as an example of the octave to my 5th grade music class at St. Joe’s Cockeysville back in 1982. I figured at least the eighth graders might relate, LOL:). Anyway… This little beauty has become the center of … More MuhMuhMuh My… Midori!:)

Squeee….. (I have learned to enjoy even the littlest joys of life at my age, so don’t judge:)) Just when I thought I had at least another week to wait, along comes the cutest little planner ever! Even the stamps from Japan are adorable! Thank you, KawaiTokyo!!! After opening the envelope, this is what … More OMG look what arrived in the mail today:)!

These pictures are from the Kawaii Tokyo Etsy … More I’ve Fallen Down Another Rabbit Hole-Happy Birthday to Me:)

Well, it’s mid-February and I am still making changes. Where to begin? I spent the better part of the last weekend in January – the one where we had all that snow – making up new booklets/inserts for my regular-sized Midori. A second bunch of sheets of card stock, new sheets of graph paper, photos from … More One Month In…
